Many of the iconic events of the war belong to this key period, when international perceptions of the conflict were decisively shaped. The subject is approached through French and British newspapers and pamphlets, and events are linked to both their immediate press coverage and subsequent literary and artistic representations. For contemporaries, the aerial bombardments of Madrid, Guernica and other cities formed part of a single unbroken narrative. It was only later that Guernica acquired its perceived symbolic primacy. The language of 'martyrdom' was sometimes evoked in pro-Republican writing as a means of challenging Francoist claims to the religious and moral high ground. But the ur-text was The Martyrdom of Madrid (1937), a compilation of the posthumous, censored reports of the French correspondent Louis Delapre?e on the bombing of Madrid. Delapre?e's earliest reporting (July-October 1936) was from both the Nationalist and Republican zones, and is used to provide an introductory overview of the early stages of the war; he was an eyewitness of the aerial bombardments of Madrid in November 1936; subsequently, the posthumous publication of his writings created a major stir in Paris. Delapre?e's powerful and emotive writing provides a platform from which to discuss issues of press censorship and journalistic practice"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCan?ada Blanch/Sussex Academic studies on contemporary Spain. 606 $aCities and towns$xPolitical aspects$zSpain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMartyrdom$xPolitical aspects$zSpain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublic opinion$zFrance$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublic opinion$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1936-1939$xPublic opinion 607 $aMadrid (Spain)$xHistory$ySiege, 1936-1939$xPublic opinion 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1936-1939$xPress coverage 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1936-1939$vArt and the war 615 0$aCities and towns$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aMartyrdom$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aPublic opinion$xHistory 615 0$aPublic opinion$xHistory 676 $a946.081 686 $aHIS045000$aHIS027000$2bisacsh 700 $aMinchom$b Martin$01692841 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828256403321 996 $aSpain's martyred cities$94070196 997 $aUNINA
